Google Inc. has scheduled an appeal for July 17 in its copyright dispute with Belgian newspaper publishers, although the two sides expect to request an extension while they try to resolve the conflict amicably, spokespeople for Google and the publishing group, Copiepresse, said. The court's schedule required Google to file its appeal 10 days ago, otherwise a ruling against it from February would have become permanent.
